I see temp plates everywhere, every day! Lots of used Bimmers with those plates too. People who are still employed have more spending cash due to not taking vacations, going out to dinners, etc. A lot of those individuals are also avoiding public transport, myself included. So why not get a new (used) car.
I've also noticed that a paper plate = much higher likelihood the driver is an idiot!! My third finger has been getting quite the workout lately.
